South Ayeli, officialy the Sovereign State of Ayeli is a country that emerged from the aftermath of the 2018 Eruption of Mount Nunakun and the political crisis that followed with the disparition of the Imperial Family and of most of the government. Since its creation, it claims to be the sole legitimate authority over Ayeli, a claim contested by North Ayeli, the "Democratic Republic of Ayeli". The first country to recognize South Ayeli as the sole legitimate authority over the island was the Mutul, then followed by X nations, including Iotopha, TBD, and TBD. Its capital and largest city is Hamuilaqta.

Because of the political instability that plague the region since 2018, South Ayeli lost a major part of its economic capacity both from the earthquake and the political crisis. Similarily, it is for now impossible to say the exact population living in the State. The newly elected government has started multiple reconstruction and agricultural programs to accelerate the recovery of Ayeli, It nonetheless maintain an aggressive rethoric toward North Ayeli, with the de-facto, unrecognized, border between the two being heavily millitarized. This cold war is preventing the return of Ayeli to its pre-earthquake living standards.

History

Geography

South Ayeli can be divided in a number of geographic regions. To the north, it control parts of the Nanohyu Dodali Mountain massif, a region of high mountains and deep valley, with its highest point being Mount Nunakun at 2200 meters. The Massif is heavily wooded, with only a small number of inhabitants living in valley settlements distant from one another. Most of the inhabitant of the Massif have been displaced by the political conflict and the region remain barely populated.

On the western side of the Nanohyu Dodali is the Wudeli Corridor : a relatively large band of flat land separating the mountains from the coast. This corridor was cut in half by the Mutulese and Belfrasian Humanitarian Zones, a division inherited by the two provisional government.

On the eastern side, the exact border is harder to tell, as the Helgi Pass open on the Capital Plain, a region mostly abandoned after the eruption of Mount Nunakun through which the "unrecognized border" run but is even more poorly defined than anywhere else, with lots of back-and-forth between the two states.

South of the mountains is the Hassasi River Valley. The Hassassi river form a large curl, going first on a north-south direction before changing direction to the south-east and then flowing into the Kayamuca Sea. It's at the mouth of the Hassasi that the city of Hamuilaqta is located.

Climate

With the entire island south of the Tropic, the local climate is tropical, moderated by northeasterly trade winds that blow year-round. The temperature is also shaped by the Kayamuca current, which brings in warm water from the equator. South Ayeli can be divided into three zones : in the minor islands and on the coastline, the climate is very humid, with a Tropical rainforest climate and many Mangrove. Deeper inland, the environment gets dryer, mostly a Tropical savanna climate with patches of Tropical monsoon climate. To the north, the mountain massif at the center of the island, the Nanohyu Dodali, which is also cut in half by the unrecognized border, is characterized by a tropical climate. The massif's peak is Mount Nunakun at 2200 meters.

Politics

Because of the circumstances that led to the division of Ayeli into two opposed government, South Ayeli is lacking in term of constitution and fixed institutions.

During the organization of the elections of a new government, part of the political class opposed the idea of a general election. Instead, they justified that the authorities currently de-facto in charge of Ayeli, meaning the Governors, mayors, and some deputies, were to gather in a "College" to elect a Provisional Government. This College would also be given the task to decide whether or not Ayeli should remain a monarchy, and thus seek a new emperor, or if it should become a republic and elect a Constitutional Assembly with the purpose of re-writing the Ayelian Constitution.

in the first week of March 2019, the date fixed for the election, both the General Election and the Collegial Election took place and it became a pledge of allegiance to one faction or another. Mostly, General Elections took place where Belfras soldiers were able to guarantee it and help organize the polling stations. Meanwhile, only Governors and Mayors aligned with the Hamuilaqtist Faction or disagreeing with the ongoing General Elections chose the collegial option. The College thus represented all parts of the country more or less already included in the Mutulese Humanitarian Zone.

The College elected Diwadi Gaduna as the Prime Minister of the Provisional Government. The "Collegial Provisional Government" then immediately opposed the "General Provisional Government" as the only legitimate executive of the island, denouncing the general elections as rigged by the Belfrasians who were puppeteering their Counterpart who had de-facto control over most of the north of the island.

The Agayi Wantin, or Prime Minister, of the now commonly nicknamed "South Ayeli" state is thus Diwadi Gaduna. Plus his Cabinet, the Provisional Government is divided into a number of Offices led by Tokoy Wanatin, or Ministers : the Treasury, the Foreign Office, the Internal Office, the Millitary Office, the Office of Justice, the Work and Trade Office, the Reconstruction Office, the Health and Safety Office, the Communication Office, and the Grand Electors Office. In that the Provisional Government is similar to the previous Imperial State Cabinet, slightly adapted to the current situation.

After the elections, the Electoral College refused to decide on whether or not Ayeli was a monarchy anymore and did not elect a Constitutional Assembly either, arguing the urgency of the situation forced them to return to their roles as Governors, Mayors, and Deputies. This mean that South Ayeli has de-facto no legislative or constitutional assembly. Legislation in South Ayeli is thus passed through Decrees and Directives from the Prime Minister and his government. Grand Electors however continue to contribute to the creation of these decrees in an advisory capacity.

Economy

Ayeli has a predominantly free market economy now that it is no longer controlled by the various imperial agencies. Lack of trustworthy numbers means that most studies estimate the current GDP of South Ayeli to be half of that of the Imperial State. It's currency is the Unosda. Even before the Earthquake, Ayeli was the poorest country of the Kayamuca Sea. It is impossible to say how many Ayelian citizens currently reside in South Ayeli because of the lack of exact numbers on the Earthquake's deathtoll and the subsequents migrations, both from or into North Ayeli and to other countries like Mutul and Belfras.

Today, the most important trade partner of South Ayeli is the Mutul, which is both its main import and export partner. It also receive important donations and aids from the Divine Throne, as well as low-interests loans from Mutuleses banks. These are the main sources of capitals for the South Ayelian government, who then re-invest it into its reconstruction programs and reformed military.
